Product Description

A two to three-week unit based on Common-Core Standards and designed to help students improve paragraph structure through daily bell ringers, practice activities, annotated examples, quizzes, and more.

TEN-MINUTE REVISION is a comprehensive writing, editing, and revision curriculum for high-school students. Using only the first ten minutes of each day, this unit will help students analyze effective paragraph structure and write or revise their own paragraphs with effective topic sentences and supporting details. Students practice revising selections from example essays for two weeks and then take a final quiz.

The daily bellwork activities come in an interactive PowerPoint perfect for a Smart Board or other interactive white boards. Answers and explanations are built in for every question. Also included is a PDF version of each bellwork for easy printing purposes.

In addition, the unit includes a grading rubric that can be used to evaluate any piece of student writing based on the skills taught in this unit. If you use more TMR units, the rubrics can be compiled so you can evaluate student essays from your class or from history, science, or other subjects based on all of the skills you have taught them during the year.

This 30-PLUS-PAGE UNIT includes everything you will need for up to three weeks of grammar instruction:
* 10 days of ten-minute bellwork practice activities, including daily Wordplay games
